Introduction to RAGAS and Its Purpose
RAGAS is an open-source library designed to assist developers and engineers in evaluating natural language model (NLM) applications efficiently. The founders, Shahul and Jiten, recognized that the manual evaluation of these applications is both tedious and inefficient, often leading to inaccurate results. They aimed to streamline the evaluation process by automating various techniques that capture the effectiveness of LLMs in real-world applications. By focusing on providing essential tools and workflows, RAGAS seeks to enable engineers to save valuable time while achieving reliable evaluations.
